Having just completed "Treason" I would suggest it is one of the most important books since "The Road To Serfdom". Sullivan misses the whole point about Coulter's exposing the McCarthy myth. Most of what liberals attribute to him was the result of the HUAC hearings and had nothing to do with his Senate investigation of Communists in sensitive jobs in the government which was his committee's responsibility. The Venona cables revealed that, if anything, he was undereporting the numbers and impact. He was demonized for not revealing names out of compassion for the reputations of the accused not because he didn't know them. The last chapter summarizes what I've felt for a long time. Liberals hate America because they hate civilization. In their minds they are gods who should be able to impose their divine will on the ignorant masses. It is a basic psychological impulse in the immature human that most outgrow in early childhood. They can't accept the constraints of the true Creator and His design and think they can do a fairer job.

Nice comments! Especially about the part that McCarthy was not a part of the HUAC - because McCarthy was a SENATOR - and the HUAC stands for HOUSE UnAmerican Activities Commission.
